Simply disabling JAVA won't do anything. In order to rule out JAVA, it will need to be completely scrubbed from the computer.
If JAVA is retaining some sort of instruction set in it's cache or some other location, possibly the registry, it needs to be gone prior to reinstall.
...And that's only IF the JAVA is the culprit, which I'm starting to doubt.

Let me get something straight:
After deletion of the .junique folder, it ONLY reappears when you hit the exe for the newer version of LK, and not when you reboot the machine?

*I guess I should have asked this long ago, but here goes:
Have you run an AV and AM apps to rule out virus, malware, or rootkits?

I did a complete re-install of Java a couple of days ago using RevoUnistaller to remove it (& those extra remnants it leaves with every version).

The .junique folder ONLY installs when I open a newer version of LK (anything past v. 2.0). It's not present when I open v. 2.0, & stays deleted. New versions activate it. I'm guessing it wasn't part of v. 2.0 & was added in when they upgraded.

Based on what the Junique manual I found here says, it sounds like the problem was asked in the post I found on a Java forum here, of which I have ZERO knowledge. So it sounds like a programming issue since it's programmers asking about the correct code on how to delete temporary files.

I have deleted the Junique folder each time, but every time I try to open the software application, the Junique folder re-installs with the current time stamp. So it is obviously attached to the application (or at least Java in some way since I never installed it). I will try deleting via Safe mode.

I'm new to the forum and since I've never been in one before I'm not sure about the rules at the bottom. If I have replied to a post I should not have let me know.

I've use a software program called DelinvFile. I do not work for or have any connection with this company. DelinvFile has worked for me when all else has failed. You have to pay for it. http://www.purgeie.com/delinv/

The software you recommended does nothing for locked files.

NOTE - DelinvFile does not delete or rename in-use (Locked) files.

It seems the Junique script was written into the Java code of the newer versions of the application. From my (limited) understanding after researching this for the past few days is that the application cannot find my computers name, so it cannot connect to an open port. Therefore the lock files get hung up. There should be 3 files in the folder (2 LOCK & a PORT). I only have 2 because the application cannot connect to a port. I don't know how to fix that, but I'm searching. I'm on my own since the developers won't help with this.
